COMMANDER’S CORNER
FLYING EAGLESNovember 2014 Civil Air Patrol
Squadron Commander
Lt Col Ilana Mor
In February of 2004, I became a member of the Bartow-Etowah
Composite Squadron. At the time, I did not know that I was
joining a new family, the CAP Family. These last ten years have
been filled with many exciting adventures, a multitude of new
friends, extensive opportunities to serve others, as well as ways to
improve myself by learning new skills and by gaining muchuseful knowledge.
I have had the opportunity to serve as the Deputy Commander for
Cadets, the Group I Cadet Program Development Officer, the
Character Development Officer, the Public Affairs Officer, a
Squadron Activities Officer, and have been the Editor-in-Chief of
the Flying Eagles for ten years. In addition, I am a qualified
Mission Staff Assistant and Public Information Officer, and have
served on many Group-wide Activities as the Project Officer.
My latest assignment is as the Commander of the Bartow-Etowah
Composite Squadron. I greatly look forward to these next four
years because I believe that one of our greatest missions in Life is
to live our lives so that others can benefit from our existence. I
intend to dedicate my life to that end.
I have great respect for those who have given to this country. As
a young girl, I grew up hearing stories about my Father’s service
to our country during WWII, and today I surround myself with a
multitude of people who have proudly done the same.
I quite often tell people about the Civil Air Patrol and its missions
for America. I am sure that if my Father was alive today, he
would be beaming with pride that I am able to contribute to the
community, state, and nation as a member of the Civil Air Patrol.
I thank those who have given me this opportunity and support. It
is my intention to serve with honor as the GA129 Commander.
Strength of the Nation

“Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the United States Air Force, is a nonpro
organization with more than 61,000 members nationwide, operating a fleet of 550 aircr
CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary role, performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search a
rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and was credited by
AFRCC with saving 54 lives in fiscal year 2011. Its volunteers also perform homeland secur
disaster relief and counter-drug missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. T
members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to more than 27,0young people currently participating in CAP cadet programs. CAP received the World Pe
Price in 2011 and has been performing missions for America for over 70 years. CAP a
participates in Wreaths Across America, an initiative to remember, honor and teach about
sacrifices of U.S. military veterans.”
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SQUADRON FLAG – THE GUIDON
Historically, the flag or colors of a unit served as the point around which the soldiers
an organization rallied as they moved forward into battle. The colors have traditionabeen at the side of the Commander, and were carried forward even when the Comman
fell in combat. All others may perish, but the colors live on.
The transfer of colors, as witnessed in the Bartow-Etowah Composite Squadro
Change of Command Ceremony on 23 October 2014, signifies the following:
1.
The transfer of responsibility for ongoing operations and accomplishments
Bartow-Etowah Composite Squadron’s missions
2.
Responsibility for all Civil Air Patrol assets3. The welfare of the Bartow-Etowah Composite Squadron’s Senior Members a
